Setting Up: a. Launch gdb: gdb --args $COMPILER/ptxas -arch=sm_100 list-traverse.ptx Where ptxas is the binary executable and -arch and file-names are the arguments. B. List the arguments: show args

2. Breakpoints:
	A. Set Breakpoints:
		i. Set breakpoint at a function: b <func_name> (eg: b preprocessInstruction)
		ii. Set breakpoint in a lineNo of a file: b <source_file>:<line_no>
		Eg: b /home/psaha/src/sw/dev/gpu_drv/module_compiler/drivers/compiler/gpgpucomp/lib/ptxparse/ptxy.inc:24631
		iii. Set Conditional breakpoint: b <func_name> if <condition>
		Eg: b ptxProcessAbiParamRegPragma if pragma == ""
		
	B. List all breakpoints: info b
	C. Delete Breakpoint: delete <brkpt_number_from_the_list>
	D. Disable a breakpoint: disable <brkpt_number_from_the_list>
	E. Enable a breakpoint: enable <brkpt_number_from_the_list>
	F. Skip a breakpoint for somenumber of times: ignore <brkpt_number> <skip_count>
	
4. Watchpoints:
	A. To set watchpoint on a variable and investigate if the variable is written into: watch <var_name> 
	B. To set watchpoint on a memory location and investigate if the location is written into: watch -location <location>
	C. To list all watchpoints: info b
	D. To delete a watchpoint: delete <watch_point_no>
5. Execution:
	A. To run the program after launching: r
	B. To show current frame and source line: frame
	C. To get into the current frame: s
	D. To see the stack trace: bt
	E. To get out of the current frame: finish
	F. To go to the next line: n
	G. To continue till next brkpoint hit or end of the program: c
	H. To continue till a particular line: until <line_no>
	I. To go to upper/Caller function of the current frame: Up
	J. To go to down to the stack: down
6. Print

	A. To print the local variables and registers used in the current frame: info frame
	B. To print the arguments of the current frame: info args, info locals
	C. To print a variable: p <var_name>
7. ASM Level:
	A. To step to a frame: stepi
	B. To go to the next assembly line: nexti
8. Text - Visual Interface:
	A. To enable source and asm visual: 
		i. tui enable (from debugger cmd prompt)
		ii. gdb -tui --args $COMPILER/ptxas -arch=sm_100 list-traverse.ptx(from Linux Cmd prompt)
	B. These are layouts and properties:
		i. Layout 0 - Only source code
		ii. Layout 1 - Only Assembly
		iii. Layout 2 - source and assembly
		iv. Layout 3 - Registers and source
		v. Layout 4 - Registers and assembly
	C. To go from one to another layout use: layout next
	D. To specify specific layout: layout <layout_name>
		i. Layout_name = {src,regs,split}
	E. To focus on particular window: focus <window_name>
		i. Window_name = {src, regs, asm, cmd}
	F. To know the window info: info win
